All this is going to do is make me kick myself for not keeping my Boba Fett with actual shooting missle. That being said, i do try to collect older toys and my son likes older toys to newer ones.Mainly loves the older Transformers because they don't fall apart when you try to transform them like the new POS ones do

OMG, I had a gig there recently--whoo, hoo! What's even more bizarrely coincidental is that my chain-reaction gadget I created is kinda-sorta related to dominoes. Good to see them incorporated into the Hall of Fame--they actually have a display with Lionel trains that tries to incorporate every Hall of Fame toy in the design from Tinkertoys to Play-Doh.

The Toy Hall of Fame is part of the National Toy Museum / Strong Museum in Rochester, New York and is well worth the visit. They have an awesome collection of vintage arcade video games in mint condition and I went bonkers playing old classics like Dig Dug and Food Fight. They have a huge assortment of other games from dollhouses of the 1800s to Star Wars action figures. The first floor of the museum has one of the largest children's museums in the country. They also have an awesome indoor butterfly garden on top of that. And if you're in Rochester, definitely be sure to check out the George Eastman House, especially if you're a fan of old movie equipment...

You actually succeeded in making me a little homesick for my hometown......and you forgot to mention the Rochester Museum and Science Center: also a wonderful place to spend the day!

Unfortunately, I wasn't there long enough to visit the Science Center. Wasn't that the place that was down the street from the Eastman House?

BTW, I did walk along the Gennesee River (sp?) all the way up to the High Falls power plant; it was a really nice walk. It was cool, too, that Rochester had a tiny skyway system of their own, probably on par with the small ones in Rochester, Minnesota or Duluth...
